STAY FIT PREMIERE

We are premiering the hot new DVD from Fit Bike Co., "Stay Fit" this Saturday night at BIKEFACTORY Waipio. As you all know, a lot of the Fit team has left since the completion of this flic so this will be the last DVD from them including Chase Hawk, Dakota Roche, Chase Dehart, Russ Barone, Trey Jones and Rob-O Morales. I'm not sure if I'll have DVD's available for sale but we will be taking preorders.
This will be an evening of wine, women and song . . . or at least beer, BBQ and bikes. Same basic game as last time . . . be here about 7:30pm and I'll start the flic at 8:30. We'll have a grill up and running, so bring a dish with enough to share. The coolers are already here and will be stocked with ice so you can bring beverages. If you're of age, BYOB. We'll also try to have some folding chairs on hand so there's somewhere to sit if you don't bring your own.
Again, if time permits we'll bring out the bunny-hop poles and the Grind box so don't forget your bikes. The BBQ will be going so bring some food as well. If you have any questions please let me know.

OLD SCHOOL is right!

This past weekend I got invited to the 2nd Annual Team Safari Cycles BMX Reunion. This time it was combined with Team Eki. For those of you who don't know, there were five entities supporting the early days of BMX in Hawaii including McCully Bicycle, The Bike Shop and The Great Outdoors. Safari Cycles and Eki Cyclery are on that list. BMX was huge in Hawaii back in the late-70's and early-80's and these are just a handful of the people involved.



Now I never personally rode for any of these teams. In fact, all of my BMX racing was when I lived in Southern California. The closest I got to a sponsorship from any of these shops was a Profile sticker pack from Jimmy T. With that being said, it was an honor to be invited to hang out with these cats and swap stories. It's amazing the wealth of talent that came out of these islands and the hurt that some of these guys put on the mainland riders.

To think we went from this . . .



to this . . .



Imagine what will happen with Hawaii riding a National caliber track.

Riders ready, watch the lights!

old school jam

So this past Sunday I was lucky enough to meet some of the old school riders rode freestyle back in the day when it was just that freestyle having fun on bikes. They have been meeting at Waimalu courts across Dave's ice cream and Grace's every Sunday. So if you have the urge to bicycle boogie lube those rotors, grease that chain and head over there around 5ish. No bullshit just good times.

San Pedro - Vegas Pilgrimage

This will be kind of an odd post. Since there are 9 different guys associated with this trip at one point or another, we are still waiting on pictures and personal stories so check back frequently over the next few days as more and more gets added to this one.
Although I did get to San Pedro(pronounced /sænˈpiːdroʊ/) ahead of time and had already visited Tip Plus, S&M Bikes and Taco Beach, the first picture I'm gonna post is of Dennis right after I picked him up. We had left LAX and were rolling through El Segundo and guess what we found.



That's Q-Tips' wallet! For those that don't know, look it up.

I'm getting ready for work, but I will say this. The iPhone is taking over the world. In our room the second night, of the 6 guys there 5 had iPhones although Bigs did have everyone beat on the future with his "push-button technology". It seems fitting that we ran into our boy Dustin (of InterBMX fame) and he has designed an app for your iPhone. It is a FREE ap and it links together all the BMX news, blogs and other relevent information into one basic button. No more waiting for pages to load on Safari. Just go to BMX Grub and see what's getting posted about your favorite companies or riders.

To be continued . . .

Shoots, Duane
